What does Classique Summer Fragrance 2012 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate: neither a skin scent nor one that fills a room. Most voters place it in leisure, daytime and office wear, while night and evening use sit further behind.

It opens with orange, mandarin orange and rose. In the heart, lily of the valley, jasmine, ylang-ylang and iris bring a floral, slightly powdery softness. The base of musk, vanilla and amber sweetens it. Fruity and gourmand touches give a warm finish without losing the freshness.
